Finding myself [View all]

2023 was a year of self discovery. I think discovery is the greatest achievement because you find and fill your potential. There's so many things in my life that i've been passionate about. Whether it was a car show, or cooking, politics,or caring for the people I love~~~
I've never gone into anything halfhearted.

Painting has been a real retreat of how to love oneself and hopefully take that love and share it with others. I've spent lots and lots of hours in my office this year alone, and somehow I was determined to teach myself to paint. But sometimes being alone is a good thing because lots of your life's treasured memories are still present in what you feel. Also teaching me to stick with things, have patience and learn to love the simplest things in life even if it's sharing your desk with your cat. And sharing it with your grand pup.

Lots of good happened in my office too during the year. I found out once again caring for a sick animal that rolls its eyes with love sticks with you forever.
And good friends are always friends.

Mark Twain once said the two most important days in life are the day you were born, and the day you find out why.

I'd worked hard this year trying to share my love of painting.
So now from "Scarlett Studio" I'm offering framed pictures with wood frames 5 x 7 $32
❤️Valentines Day, edition. Which just so happens to be my favorite holiday. What could be better than feeling loved?

So to anyone venturing out to find something fulfilling in their life go for it jump in! Many thanks to my friend Winnie Poon who encouraged me, inspired me, who coached me and answered every annoying question, even if it was 3 AM. Sadly she left me for another adventure and passion of hers. She is now a full-time birder and animal photographer. And once again, her passions have surpassed my realm. She is phenomenal. Once again, proving
she is the epitome of anything you want to do or dream of can be accomplished!
I couldn't be happier for her.

To all my friends, and paint partner who supported me and cheered every picture I painted!

Even the crappy ones.🫶🏼

I'll stick to my motto if you don't love something, you'll never be good at it.
Who would of ever thought I would ever lend my ear to a classical Johann Debussy
Clair de Lune ? And a good friend bought me a portable CD player for my office so I can now play all my CDs and sing real loud while I paint to my favorite songs.https://postimg.cc/gallery/rTdMhCy
